Allow textarea widgets to be used for text (formatted) fields

$

Problem/Motivation

I would like to use a Text (formatted) field to create a "Description" field appropriate for an og:description meta tag, since we typically want to limit those to 100-300 characters max, and also want it to allow HTML tags since it could be used for display. It is not possible to use a textarea/CKEditor widget for these fields without https://www.drupal.org/project/textarea_widget_for_text

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a new "Text (formatted)" field to a node type
  • Move to the "Manage Display" tab and observe you can only use the "Text field" widget

Proposed resolution

Allow the use of the "Text area (multiple rows)" widget

Remaining tasks

  • Are there any issues with validation? Can we make the user experience better for CKEditor where there is a #maxlength on the textarea source field? Maybe something like https://www.drupal.org/project/ckwordcount or propose CKEditor shows something if #maxlength is reached in the WYSIWYG?

User interface changes

The new widget is available in the "Manage Display" form.

API changes

None

Data model changes

None
